Description

Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of secure communication, and particularly relates to a high-speed secure optical communication system for key ciphertext simultaneous transmission.

With the explosive growth of optical communication-related applications, security issues in optical communication have become very important. The traditional secret communication technology based on the data link layer is limited by an electronic processing bottleneck, meanwhile, the attack of a super computer and a quantum computer is difficult to resist, and the safety of the traditional secret communication technology is challenged. The secure optical fiber communication technology based on the physical layer has become a research hotspot due to the advantages of hardware encryption, no limitation of electronic processing bottleneck and the like. Quantum key distribution can provide absolute security in information theory due to the physical characteristics of quantum, but the device structure is more complex, and the rate of key distribution is lower, so that the key distribution is also more limited. Meanwhile, the current secure communication system structure generally adopts key ciphertext separation transmission, so that the cost of the sending end and the receiving end is greatly increased. Therefore, the key distribution rate is improved, the effective information is transmitted in a hiding mode, and the system without key distribution is realized, so that the key distribution method has important significance for improving the safety of a safety communication system and reducing the system cost.
In an encryption mode, a traditional stream cipher is formed by mapping a codebook generated by a seed key, a ciphertext and a plaintext have the same modulation format, and the security of the traditional stream cipher is gradually weakened along with the improvement of computing power and the development of a quantum computer. The quantum noise stream encryption mode utilizes the inevitable quantum noise in the system to cover signals, the difference between levels is reduced along with the increase of the number of levels, and the safety is correspondingly improved when the number of levels covered by the quantum noise is more. Because of the limitations of DAC bit number and signal transmission rate, the number of levels that can be covered by ordinary quantum noise stream encryption is limited, some research groups realize high-bit quantum noise stream encryption by coarse and fine modulation of low-bit DAC in the electrical domain at present, but there are problems of low modulation depth and signal-to-noise ratio, and the like, and realizing an enhanced quantum noise stream encryption in the optical domain is also a problem to be solved urgently.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
As shown in fig. 1, the high-speed secure optical communication system for key ciphertext concurrent transmission provided by the present invention includes: the device comprises a hidden signal transmitting module, a public signal transmitting module, a signal transmission module, a hidden signal receiving module, a public signal receiving module and a digital signal processing module.
The hiding signal transmitting module utilizes the noise light source generating unit to generate a wide-spectrum noise optical carrier in a linear polarization state, and utilizes the first Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure unit to modulate the secret key information encrypted by the quantum noise stream on the optical carrier phase, so that two optical links of the interferometer have certain delay difference, the interference phenomenon can not occur, and the hiding of effective information is realized. That is, the effective information is modulated in the optical phase and hidden in the wide-spectrum noise as a hidden signal.
The public signal transmitting module utilizes a narrow-linewidth light source to generate a narrow-linewidth laser carrier, utilizes a first modulation unit to modulate information needing coarse modulation on the intensity of the optical carrier, utilizes a second modulation unit to modulate information needing fine modulation on the intensity of the other optical carrier, utilizes a power adjusting and coupling unit to realize two-path optical power proportion adjustment, couples two optical paths and realizes optical coarse and fine modulation on an optical domain. Namely, the encrypted ciphertext information encrypted by the modulation enhanced quantum noise stream on the optical carrier is used as a public signal.
And the signal transmission module is used for carrying out signal multiplexing, transmission and signal quality compensation through the optical multiplexing unit and the signal transmission and compensation unit.
The hidden signal receiving module enables the received and secretly transmitted optical signals to enter the second Mach-Zehnder interferometer structural unit, the two paths of delay differences in the hidden signal transmitting module are matched in the structure and are within the coherence length of the broad-spectrum noise light source, then the two paths of delay differences are transmitted to the first photoelectric conversion unit, photoelectric conversion is carried out, and key information used for encrypting the secretly transmitted quantum noise flow is recovered.
And the public signal receiving module processes the optical signal by using the optical filtering attenuation unit, transmits the optical signal to the second photoelectric conversion unit and receives the public signal demodulation recovery ciphertext.
And the digital signal processing module is used for carrying out digital signal processing on the recovered key information and the recovered ciphertext information and decrypting to obtain a plaintext.
To further illustrate the system of the present invention, a high-speed secure optical communication system for key ciphertext simulcast will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.
Fig. 2 is a system block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
Further, the public signal transmitting module is discussed to realize the enhanced quantum noise stream encryption by combining formula derivation and a theoretical model.
The traditional stream cipher has a great hidden trouble that the encrypted ciphertext and the plaintext before encryption are usually signals in the same format, for example, for an on-off keying signal, a key sequence obtained by performing exclusive or operation on the on-off keying signal and a key is also an on-off keying signal. Therefore, the non-cooperative party can obtain the same ciphertext information as the cooperative party, and the secret key is cracked through various attack means such as quick correlation attack and the like, so that the plaintext information is obtained. Quantum noise stream ciphers differ from conventional stream ciphers in that they exploit the properties of quantum noise, including spontaneous emission noise of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and shot noise of photodetectors, to achieve secure transmission of signals, which inevitably exist widely in various communication systems. As shown in fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a quantum noise stream cipher, the quantum noise stream cipher maps a plaintext signal into a super-dense modulated signal with the help of a key, so that an euclidean distance between each level of the signal is very short and much smaller than a scale of the quantum noise, and under the concealment of the quantum noise, a non-partner cannot make a correct decision to obtain information of a ciphertext, so that an existing attack means for a conventional stream cipher cannot be used for attacking the ciphertext.
The safety performance of quantum noise stream encryption is mainly determined by the number of masking levels, namely the number of bits of a modulated optical signal, and Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) is carried out by using a single intensity modulator, wherein the more the pulse amplitude isI.e. the higher the number of masking levels, the higher the security, which is determined by the number of bits of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). For example, 256 masking levels can be implemented using an 8-bit DAC. In order to overcome the shortage of DAC digit, the digit ' sum ' of DAC is mainly carried out by coarse and fine modulation, that is, the effect of high-digit DAC is realized by using the ' sum ' of multiple low-digit DACs, for example, 2 can be realized by using two 8-digit DACs to carry out ' sum16The number of levels is covered, and the safety is greatly improved.
Conventional coarse and fine modulation is mainly done in the electrical domain with a single double-drive mach-zehnder modulator (DD-MZM). As shown in FIG. 4, for a single DD-MZM, the upper arm inputs the electrical signal of M-bit, the lower arm inputs the electrical signal of N-bit, and the output optical field is assumed to be E0The output signal can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002909355790000081
wherein S iscoarseAnd SfineFor the coarse and fine modulated signals, respectively, to make the synthesized PAM signal level intervals uniform, the coarse and fine modulated signals must satisfy the following peak-to-peak relationship:
Figure BDA0002909355790000082
wherein, M and N are binary digits of the coarse and fine modulation signals, respectively, so that the peak-to-peak difference of the electrical signals is very large in the conventional coarse and fine modulation scheme. This results in that, in the case where the peak-to-peak amplitude of one of the signals is constant, the peak-to-peak value of the other signal is very small, and the signal-to-noise ratio is very low, which results in deterioration of communication performance.
In an example of the present invention, an improved coarse and fine modulation architecture is shown in fig. 2 for a common signal transmission module, comprising: the laser device comprises a laser, a third optical coupler, a second polarization controller, a third polarization controller, a second modulator, a third modulator, a 90-degree phase shifter, a first variable optical attenuator and a fourth optical coupler. Narrow linewidth laser output by the laser is divided into two paths which respectively enter a second modulator and a third modulator to be subjected to coarse modulation and fine modulation, a coarse modulation light path realizes pi/2 phase shift through a 90-degree phase shifter, a fine modulation light path performs optical power attenuation through a first variable optical attenuator until the optical power of two parallel links meets a certain proportion requirement, and the two parallel links are combined and output through a fourth coupler. For the purpose of analysis, it is assumed that the second and third modulators are both MZM modulators biased at linear points, and each device is in an ideal state.
Improved coarse-fine modulation uses two MZMs in parallel to achieve coarse-fine modulation of the signal. The signals respectively output from the single MZM can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002909355790000091
Figure BDA0002909355790000092
the total signal output is:
Figure BDA0002909355790000093
where α is the attenuation of the optical attenuation used to modulate the intensity of the optical signal to meet the peak-to-peak requirement of the signal, and j is the resulting fixed π/2 phase shift. The light intensity of the signal after passing through the light detector is as follows:
Figure BDA0002909355790000094
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0002909355790000095
Figure BDA0002909355790000101
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0002909355790000102
the additional phase shift caused by the slight time-varying optical path difference generated by the two optical paths under the influence of the environment such as stress and temperature can be ignored in the integrated device.
Further, in the present example, as shown in the common signal receiving module in fig. 2, the module includes: the optical filter, the second variable optical attenuator, the second photoelectric detector and the oscilloscope. The received optical signal is filtered, the optical power is attenuated, then the optical signal enters a photoelectric detector for photoelectric conversion, and then the optical signal is converted into a digital signal processing module by an oscilloscope for subsequent digital signal processing.
As shown in fig. 5, which is a level diagram before and after equalization at the receiving end after quantum noise stream encryption. The analysis shows that the system has better encryption effect, and the decoding of a legal receiver can also obtain lower error rate.
In general, the method for implementing the enhanced quantum noise stream encryption by adjusting the optical power of the parallel link to perform the optical coarse-fine modulation in this embodiment greatly improves the security performance and the communication performance compared with the conventional scheme.
Further, the realization of white light interference hidden transmission by the hidden signal transmitting module and the hidden signal receiving module is discussed by combining formula derivation and a theoretical model.
The principle of hiding transmission information by white light interference is shown in fig. 6, and four light paths are provided for a wide-spectrum light source from an emitting end to a receiving end: (a) 1-3; (b) 1-4; (c) 2-3; (d) 2-4. According to the theory of optical interference, only light within the coherence length can interfere, that is, only two optical paths (a) and (d) interfere when the delay difference between the two optical paths is within the coherence length of the light source by adjusting the delay lines t1 and t2, and data loaded on the optical phase on the link 2 is demodulated. At the photodetector end, two delay lines t1 and t2 are adjusted,
when the difference value of two paths of time delay is within the coherence length, I is 2| E | luminance2+2|E|2cos(u(t));
When the two paths of delay difference values are beyond the coherence length, I is 4| E2
As shown in fig. 2, the concealed signal transmitting module includes: the device comprises a wide-spectrum noise light source, a polarizer, a first optical coupler, a first polarization controller, a first modulator, a first optical delayer and a second optical coupler. The wide spectrum light with partial line is divided into two paths, one path of light is subjected to information up-regulation on the light phase through a phase modulator, the other path of light is subjected to certain delay difference through an optical delayer, and the two paths of light are combined through a coupler. The light source adopted in the module is an ASE noise light source, the spectrum width is 40nm, when the spectrum shape is approximate to a rectangle, the spectrum is converted into a spectrum with the coherence length of 60 mu m, namely the interference can be generated only when the difference of the lengths of the optical links of the two arms is within 60 mu m. And adjusting the optical delayer to ensure that the difference of the lengths of the two links exceeds the coherence length, namely ensuring that the interference does not occur in the hiding signal transmitting module.
In other words, in the hidden signal transmitting module, the key information used for quantum noise stream encryption is loaded on the phase of the wide-spectrum optical noise, the modulated spectrum information is simulated by the system as shown in fig. 7, the amplitude in the time domain is constant and hidden in the noise, the spectrum of the modulated information is hidden in the broadband noise spectrum in the spectrum domain, and it is difficult for an eavesdropper to know that the effective information exists in the spectrum, so that the hidden transmission is realized.
As shown in fig. 2, the concealed signal receiving module includes: a fifth optical coupler, a second optical delayer, a sixth coupler, a first photoelectric detector and an oscilloscope. The received optical signal is divided into two paths, wherein one path is delayed by matching with the optical delayer, so that the interference phenomenon can be generated only when the delay of the hidden signal transmitting module is kept within the coherence length of the wide-spectrum noise light source, and the key information used for encrypting the quantum noise flow modulated on the optical phase is demodulated.
Interference can be generated only when the optical delayer is adjusted to enable the optical path difference between the hidden signal transmitting module and the hidden signal receiving module to be within the coherence length of the wide-spectrum light source, data loaded on an optical phase on the link 1 are demodulated, the delay matching is better, and the demodulation performance is better.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the signal transmission module includes: multiplexer, standard single mode fiber, dispersion compensation fiber, optical amplifier, and de-multiplexing filter. The optical signals of the hidden signal transmitting module and the public signal transmitting module are multiplexed into a standard single-mode optical fiber for transmission, the dispersion compensation optical fiber and the optical amplifier are used for respectively carrying out dispersion compensation and power compensation, and then the signals are demultiplexed to the hidden signal receiving module and the public signal receiving module through the demultiplexing filter. The secret key information encrypted by the quantum noise stream is loaded on the secret signal transmitting module, the cipher text information encrypted by the quantum noise stream is loaded on the public signal transmitting module, and the simultaneous transmission of the secret key and the cipher text is realized through multiplexing.
According to the content, the high-speed secure optical communication system for key ciphertext simultaneous transmission can be constructed, after 40Gb/s PAM4-QNSC signals modulated based on 8-bit and 6-bit DAC optical thickness are transmitted for 50 kilometers, the Error rate obtained after a receiving end is subjected to digital signal processing can be below an FEC (Forward Error Correction) decision line, and the demodulation performance of a legal receiving end is good.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
